I made two videos which were unusable which touched on all of this and then another one on Sunday night that goes into some of what's been going on and can be viewed here for those that would rather watch a video. However, I feel that writing things down is much more cathartic so here … Continue reading Health Check In: Still More to Endure

Fitness Check In Day 84
My last fitness check in was March 18th. Since then I dropped off my mile walks because of the plantar fascia pain that I was scared injuring myself further. To make matters worse, while the DDPY Bedflex was helping my body overall, it was making my pelvic floor super tight so I had to stop … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 84

Yesterday after I was done with the elliptical, I felt something off with my left foot.

Fitness Check In: Day 79
After a rough few days where my mood dipped down to the dark pits I have worked soo hard to climb out of again, I was determined to pull myself out of it yesterday.

Struggling With Foods You Can’t Have
